Project 07 - Open-Back Hexagon Twist

Here it is!. My favorite origami tessellation so far. It's name (as you se in the big text) is Open-back hexagon twist. In the book, by Eric Gjerde, it is a Intermediate project. It is made of a 32-triangle grid on a hexagon.  

As usual tessellations do get a very nice backlight effect so I have a picture on that too.

And this is the back.

And this is when you backlight it.

                          

Robert J. Lang describes origami

In this video Robert J. Lang describes origami from a different way. He tells you about that origami isn't just a simple flapping bird. It is something more, that it is used in science, for satelites, in medicine and more. I think that this video is good because it says that origami can be used in the real world.

Project 03 - Tiled Hexagons

This is the project Tiled Hexagons in the book Origami Tessellations. I've used dubble-sided paper with two colors. The module is made from a triangle grid from a squere. And I think that when you backlight it, it will get a very nice effect.

And this is when you backlight it.

Origami Omega Star

Here is a new module made by 6 units. It is designed by John Montroll. I think that it is quite easy. I made it from a video from youtube. The demostrator on the video is by Jonakashima. Here is a link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKmgqv8N3-4.

Project 19 - Propellerheads

This is one of the projects from the book. It is a intermediate project. The one in the book was made in elephant hide paper i think, but I used normal kami paper.

And this is the back.

Between the folds

Here is a ''new'' documentary from Green fuse films who is called ''Between the folds''. Iv'e watched it yesterday and I think that it was interesting. The film is 1 hour long, and I recommend it for you origami interested people. Actually it one of my favourite films. It is awesome!. And I really think that it is interesting because it describes origami from a different way that I like. So watch it! And here is a link to the trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tE4lqYzS2m0.

Star puff tessellation 32-grid

Here it is! the star puff tessellation. It's a 32-grid and with 19 puff stars. It took me about 2 hours to fold this tessellation, 1 hour only by pre-creasing it. It is desinged by Ralf Konrad, and it's in the book Origami Tessellations only with 7 stars then but that goes to.

Origami puffy/luckey stars

Origami Tessellations

Here is a new book that i've bought which is called ''Origami Tessellations Awe-Inspiring Geometric Designs. It's by the author and origami artist Eric Gjerde. Later I am gonna show you all the projects in this book, hopefully. And I recommend that you buy this book if you are intrested of origami tessellations, because it's a really great book.

My Origami Collection

Some of these modules are old and some are new. The buckeyballs are new and the star puff tessellation are new and the spring into action (the one to the left) are new. The swan (the one to the right) is made of 3d origami units. I think that it is about 550 pieces. And all around the picture there are origami snowflakes by Dennis Walker.
